Move up to tighten or down to slacken. OIL CLUTCHES BEFORE EVERY USE 5. Remove the reels from the reel post and place on the reel shafts guiding the wire through the Wire Guide coming from the bottom of the reels. 6. Place the springs between the reels. Using the clutch compress between 5-10mm holding in position with clutches. 7. Over tensioning the springs between reels will cause slack wires and loop on the reel. 8. Drive smoothly, parrell to the fence collecting the stakes as you go. Ensure the wire feed evenly onto reels. 9. Remember to oil the clutches and the wire feed mechanism regularly. If the white plastic shear bolt breaks, check why before replacing. The shear bolt is there to protect the gear box. Never use a steel bolt.
